GIRARD-PERREGAUX. A LARGE AND UNIQUE TITANIUM DIVER'S WRISTWATCH WITH FLYING TOURBILLON, DUAL GAS ESCAPE VALVES, CARBON FIBER DIAL, CERTIFICATE AND BOX

Initially launched in 2006 as a limited edition of 32 pieces, the ‘Challenger of Record’ was made to commemorate the famed Golden Gate Yacht Club and their participation of the 32nd America’s Cup. The present unique timepiece, manufactured specially for the present owner stands apart from the standard limited edition thanks to the striking yellow Girard-Perregaux signature, the engraving on the case back and the yellow 'J.T' initial on the carbon fibre dial.

Displaying traditional horological craftsmanship with a touch of modern technology and aesthetics, Girard-Perregaux integrated a flying tourbillon escapement into a diver’s watch with a 3000 meter depth rating. To achieve such feat, a thick titanium case was implemented to withstand the pressures of the deep sea. Furthermore, two helium gas escape valves have been attached on both sides of the case band.
